Steak & Ale Pie Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Cut the beef steak into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Steak

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Add Mushrooms

   Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

   Make the Gravy

   Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Gradually add beef broth and ale, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

6. 6

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the seared beef to the pot along with bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.

7. 7

   Prepare for Baking

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the beef mixture into a pie dish and let it cool slightly.
